Additional FTP account not getting created

[deadbeef]

Can some body explain me how reproduce exactly this in v17 and I will investigate it ?
I create accounts from gui and can access to FTP whit out any problems. in debian and centos.

Have no idea. Accounts are created, but obviously with incorrect password. After I change password in command line everything is fine.

Although I just tried again and everything worked... Strange.

Also a confusing thing is that users can access server via SFTP, but additional ftp accounts are only allowed to use FTP and SFTP gives them an "Access denied" error - it took some time to understand that. Maybe you should have some warning while creating additional accounts.

Yes only main account can access to SSH / SFTP additional account is only for FTP.

There is no warning but say " Addtional FTP account" not say additional user / SFTP or SSH account "

Maybe as you orther people have problemas try connecting by sftp :/

Most likely. And probably my trouble was caused by some misprint or extra space in password. Anyway everything is fine for me now, thanks =)

I'm having this same problem, how do I change the password in command line?

First make sure you're trying to connect using FTP protocol - not SFTP!

Yes I am trying to connect with FTP

etc/passwd

Code: Select all

admin_billing:x:1000:1000::/home/admin/web/dev.server.co.uk:/sbin/nologin

There are no errors in the auth.log but i get the error on screen of 'Login incorrect.' after the password is requested. I've tried changing the password, deleting/recreating the user and it still doesnt accept the log in.



if i change this line in /etc/passwd

Code: Select all

admin_billing:x:1000:1000::/home/admin/web/dev.server.co.uk:/bin/nologin

to

Code: Select all

admin_billing:x:1000:1000::/home/admin/web/dev.server.co.uk:/bin/bash

then it is working but is this correct for ftp?

Well you can try to set up a new password for that user via SSH:

Code: Select all

sudo passwd admin_billing

But as far as I remember exactly what you described happens when you try to connect via SFTP using additional FTP account. Some FTP clients offer that mode by default.

If so - you are definitely trying to connect using SFTP protocol. Revert your settings back to "/bin/nologin" and check connection settings in FTP client again. For example mine has options FTP, FTPES (Explicit), FTPS (Implicit) and SFTP, and correct option is FTP.

I'm definitely using FTP,

have just tried it again changing that line back and it gives the same error
